@@amishelectrician2 tf bro
technically the same species tho
Always some nerd coming out to ruin all the fun
My man got such strong genes he pranked a whole species 😂
Your man was an African Homosapien.🎉
Being a homosapien, the father probably passed down the superior intelligence genes which ended up surfacing down the line and providing an edge over other neanderthals crowding out the other genes eventually.
There’s always going to be an all male and an all female line of humans; he just happened to be the one
This, this is the best comment
I think it would’ve been the other way around considered how Neanderthals were outcompeted by homosapiens they probably took the benefits of our dna which allowed them to survive longer while all the non hybrids died out
Neanderthals didn't die out. We boned them out of existence. 👪
The fact that this could be a legit theory 💀💀
This sort of misses the point of how that “boning” took place. It was almost surely the result of homo sapians killing all the males of a Neanderthal tribe and raping their women.
That's literally how EVERY species (animal, plant, fungi) evolves. SMDH!!!
@BattleAxeBillie Tell me you don't understand how evolution works without actually telling me you don't understand how evolution works.
We boned your mamma
Thanks to Neanderthal-Homosapien relations, we carry a gene that helps us better regulate our body temperature in cold conditions. Nice to know that the trade went both ways.

@@CeceliaRaby Fair enough 😆
It'll never not be weird to me relatively recent modern humans saw other species and were like, "Eh, close enough.... Heyyyy."
I mean, some guys will bang anything. Hell, two of them even tried to bang me.
But they really were "close enough" and that's the point. If they weren't genetically close enough, there wouldn't be any offspring, we wouldn't be seeing Neanderthal DNA in modern humans.

It's more like a German shepherd breeding with a husky, of coyote with a dog I guess.

Human women liked the Annunaki or whoever they were (I'm not going to look it up now!) because, according to the King James "they were great of parts," but according to the Peshitta "they were hung like donkeys."
Remember, if we interbred with them, they were a subspecies, not a fully separate species. They were technically the same species as us, but a different version, driven to extinction not by dying out but by becoming reintegrated into our gene pool. There just happened to be more homo sapiens around when the two gene pools were mixed back together.
"There just happened" as if life must have been easy then😂
@@TaflonDon I'm struggling to understand how you concluded that any part of my comment had that meaning. Life wasn't that easy then, but it's not easy now either for different reasons, and at least they were living the lives they'd evolved to live and following their natural instincts instead of being disconnected from nature, slaves to money and causing a mass extinction while feeling helpless and guilty about it. I think they were probably happier than us tbh, but I wasn't even talking about that. That wasn't the point I was making at all. I was talking about how the neanderthal subspecies was reabsorbed into our species.
donkeys and horses are separate species and can have viable offspring. They don't have to be sub-species.
@@chopsyoutube So they can have offspring who can go on to reproduce themselves? If that's the case, please show me a source. If you're right, then they're subspecies by definition.
That doesn't work like exactly that. But it's a wonderful line of thought.

@@EEEEEEEE WHY
It’s fascinating that no other “type” of human exists today when so many other animals have different variations. Edit: I should have phrased this better - by "type" I meant species - all humans today are considered to be homo sapien ( I guess even if there are other genes mixed in)
It's because humans can solve most problems with tools than just our bodies, like building shelters from harsh weather rather than having full body fur, using different tools to hunt different animals and so on.
Yup. It's so weird. There are multiple sub species of every animal and plants. But, only one human. It's so sad
It’s because we evolved heterogeneously until it became homogeneous. Kind of like if you put eggs, water, oil, and cake mix in a bowl and start mixing it’ll look like a lot of different things until it eventually forms a homogeneous batter. But the eggs, and oil, and water are still there. I had a friend that has more Neanderthal dna the majority of Europeans have for some reason. It’s still in our dna but it is more prevalent in some than others. Just look at the Brit’s. (just jest I love the British lol) sorry if this is pedantic btw 😅 but I personally thought humans evolved linearly until college cause in middle school they taught it as an evolutionary line (probably to simplify it? I don’t agree with that but that’s my guess as to why they did it) but in college it was taught as this essentially untraceable family tree. Like you can get the main ingredients for us but there still was a lot of other compounds along the way until we became a “batter” per se.
@@t-.-t.it’s because all races don’t only marry within their own races can marry others which means the genetic diversity is less so not subspecies
@@t-.-t.wouldn’t that just mean everyone was just mating together? if we had someone 100% Neanderthal, that’d mean we segregated everyone… lol
The moral of the story is that we should breed with other branches of humans when ever possible.

Finally I ended up in the educational and antropology part of UA-cam!
The hybrid Neanderthal/Sapiens paved the way for modern humanity. Neanderthals had been out in freezing tundra for millennia and this led to a degradation of the gene pool through a lack of genetic diversity. But they deserve our respect for what they learned out there and brought back to Sapiens. The Y chromosomes could all be similar to ours cause they were closer relatives to Sapiens than Denisovans.
@popdavid-dd4lxno, the most common reason the Neanderthals died is that they became intergrated into the homo sapien gene pool, most of not everyone has a bit of Neanderthal dna
@popdavid-dd4lx How did they lose if their dna still survives in large amounts of the european population?
@@kylerBDAgreed. The groups of people without Neanderthal DNA seem to struggle surviving in civilization as well.
@@kungfoochicken08whaou lol smh
@@kylerBDLosing doesn't mean you're wiped from existence, lol, what is this?
Neanderthals lost. A better hominid outcompeted them for resources.
The fact that their DNA can be found in Asians and Europeans at 0.5 to 2% is a consolation prize of that competition and intermingling.
Who knows, maybe we will be outcompeted by a better hominid that enters the fray.

So, the cartoon "Croods" is just a hypothetical of that couple 😂
There's something so surreal and almost eerie about the fact that there were many different species of human throughout earths history, and we are the only ones left.
There's something sad about it too. Like we're missing a part of ourselves that was lost long ago. Neanderthals in my opinion were like the siblings of our species, so them dying out is like humanity as a whole losing its last family member.
Depressing :(
We're not the only ones left, we're the outcome. Yes, unfortunately other human species died out or were wiped by our ancestors, but those who remained mixed with our kind.
It is sad, but we're still carrying them around along with us in some ways. Every time you see a natural red-head, you are looking at a piece of our Neanderthal cousins. They gave our species the red-head gene, after all. For me, that is at least a little bitter-sweet and comforting.
Whites, Asians, and Latinos all have Neanderthal DNA, alongside other homo DNA, otherwise everyone would look Sub Saharan African. So the species live on and now have iphones and spotify.

I don't even think Y chromosomes express
Well, females have no y chromosome to pass on so a y chromosome is passed through the male side of a bloodline
Or maybe what it did not have
Not much actually. It's why it lasts so long in the evolutionary genetic record. The y chromosome is the only chromosome that can't cross over so the only change is through mutation.
Nothing much actually to the point the Y chromosome will soon be extinct… it’s getting smaller with each generation

genghis khan is likely not even in top 3, only in top 3 _recorded_
Well, if you go back 1000 years to the entire population of Europe, 20% of them had their lineages die shortly after, the other 80% are acestors to every single living person who has a not so far European ancestor, so time matters a lot. Also there is this one early human woman known only as "mitochondrial Eve" that is an ancestor to every single living human, we can trace it back to her through mitochondrial dna

bro couldnt not tap that neanderthussy
I feel like the boundaries of "species" with humans just do not actually exist. Like, the most typical concept of species is that they either can't produce fertile offspring at all, or that they simply wouldn't do so enough to matter if they were present in the same environment because little or no mating would occur even over evolutionary timescales. E.G. lions and leopards manage to retain distinct characteristics with overlapping territories. They are capable of interbreeding, but it doesn't end up blurring the distinction between them. It is perfectly obvious that a lion is a lion and a leopard is a leopard and hybrids occur so rarely that evolution can keep the two species distinct.
With different human groups, this does not seem to be the case. It seems like, while there are clearly important differences, the different human groups that are typically deaignated by binomial nomenclature seem to freely hybridize, or at least freely enough that the result over long periods is that coexistance between distinct human "species" in the same environment invariably blurs the line between them.
I will also point out that for humans, a million years is 34000 generations. That's really not a lot on the scale of speciation. Enough for an adaptive radiation of different morphologies? sure. Enough that they can't or won't successfully hybridize? Probably not.
Apparently it was hard for us to hybridize with neanderthals.
The "produce fertile offspring" definition is just a simplified one for schoolchild textbooks, and doesn't actually apply to reality.
The more I hear about this, the more I'm convinced it's human "races"/"breeds" not species
@@MarcelaElviraTimis It has been confirmed by science that they were indeed separate human species. They were not homo sapiens
Why do we think humans evolved from these creatures rather then them being a separate species if humans existed first?
We don’t. Neanderthals and Homo Sapiens both evolved from a common ancestor.
which means that those early homosapiens DID in fact leave living descendants, through neanderthal DNA thats survives today as red hair and freckles
